Realme has now caught itself in a brand new controversy. A Realme XT user has now claimed that his device exploded while charging within the 24 hours of purchase.

Back in September 2019, Realme launched its then-premium offering dubbed Realme XT in the Indian market. Since then, the device has become one of the popular offerings in the affordable segment for the consumer.

According to the user, the device was being charged with the official bundled adapter and it still managed to burst in flames for some unknown reasons. The victim, Roshan Singh, took the help of the Twitter platform to reveal his unpleasant experience.  Singh also shared the images of the burnt unit. Furthermore, the user has claimed to get in touch with Realme’s service center by sharing the pictures of the burnt device. He further claimed that the brand’s representative said that the unit has been under external force just by looking at the pictures.

After narrating the ordeal on Twitter, Realme promised to take the necessary action on the incident. As per Singh, no appropriate action has been taken to resolve the matter. The company, on the other hand, said that the incident took place due to the application of external force.

Realme in an official statement said:

“For us, one of the key pillars is product quality. Every smartphone manufactured by Realme goes through a number of stringent quality and durability checks as customer safety is of utmost importance for us. As per our investigation, we have learned that the smartphone was damaged due to external force. The user’s smartphone battery caught fire as the smartphone was punctured from outside.”
